When doctor asked "when did you get good?(at music)" and munky said "haha, still working on it", man how humble someone could be😁😍

@LITTLEXALIENS Год назад

Munky is one of my biggest inspirations and I am currently over 6 months sober from alcohol. my last time drinking was actually at a Korn show... it was an appropriate closing to a turbulent chapter in my life. seeing Munky’s transformation the past decade (and the band in general) has given me hope I can restructure my life, settle down and still be a crazy musician. the brain scans were fascinating and the conversation was therapeutic thank you Dr. Amen & James 🙏

I think korn might be responsible for peoples drinking addictions but it’s good too see what munkys doin now

@jdfckrr Год назад

Munky is definitely one of my biggest inspirations. I’ve been trying to get over some bad habits myself and seeing him be open about being sober reminds me that healing will take time and determination. Thank you, Munky, for being so brave and open about your experiences and sobriety. You will always be appreciated and loved by me and every fan out there! ❤

@Mischiefmaniacs2270 Год назад

Scans should be mandatory. It’s like we’ve gotten to heal with the other band members but munky has been said to be the sweetest most kind individual as long as he’s sober. I’m so thankful I saw this. He is an inspiration on and off the stage. Dreads are Definitely next level.

@janicehathaway3406 Год назад

Thank you Munky for being so honest and revealing such deep personal emotions. I have so much respect for you, and wish you only a healthy, happy life. You have such a beautiful, loving wife and 3 amazing children with Evis. You have so much to live for. You’ve got this!

@creativecreep Год назад

I grew up listening to Korn and going to their concerts. As someone in the very early days of sobriety myself, it's so inspiring to see someone like Munky come so far and leave behind what was damaging to his life.

@SummerDuperly Год назад

I don’t get why all doctors don’t see a scan of the brain before they medicate people. Why isn’t this the common protocol. This video is so informative; like a master class for free. Thank you Dr Amen!🤗

Stay strong Munk. Legendary band with some of the worst drug/alcohol addiction in music history and they all went to war with it and have gotten better and survived. The Korn story is like no other with the amount of trials and tribulations and an absolute inspiration to those who suffer with addiction

@guitarconcepts8850 5 месяцев назад

I gave this guy guitar lessons. I talked to him about his drinking, I thought he was gonna die. He called me every name In the book. Now he's repeating everything I said to him. I dunno If I should be mad or not lol .

@suziediamondcain Год назад

Whoa... Came to watch as a fan of Doc & Neuro-nerd only to discover this man's personal journey has a lot of similarities to mine... Adopted as a baby, guilt in wanting to find my biological family, parents died, experience of abuse, trauma, undiagnosed adhd + addictions... Wow. Recovery is both beautiful & possible guys. Stay blessed and take charge of those thoughts 🙏💓

I just realized I’ve never heard James speak. I’ve listened to JD talk a million times and if you haven’t I highly recommend his recent interviews, but James is so much different than I perceived him for 30 years.

I love this so much! I grew up with James in Rosedale - I remember watching him start, just the beginning of addiction and drifting that direction. Then watch him rise in fame but fall apart internally. Seeing him in this video makes me smile and celebrate

I would of been where he was at 40. Sober. If this bs never spawned from the demons on earth. Happy for Munky. ❤️‍🩹

@radiantlove7136 7 месяцев назад

Aww it’s really tough to lay it all out like that. To be vulnerable. I hope he finds God. He’ll even heal more. God talks about self-control and discipline as well. The gravity is your demons that keep pulling you in. Until your delivered!

@@raulfigueroa588 Yeah he was confirmed to be Mexican and Native (Indigenous)

@LeadMe2TheBliss Год назад

Yes, he was adopted, and he also cut off the tip of one of his fingers (Much like Tony Iommi) when he was sneaking out of his house to go to a keg party, he got his finger stuck in the chain on his 3 wheeler that he was going to drive to the keg party haha. They had keg parties out in fields in the middle of nowhere out in Oildale, which is only about 3 miles away from his parents home in Bakersfield.

Ok but the question is Is your life any better without alcohol? I have 46 years, no friends,no wife, no girlfriend, no kids.... Family 5 or 6 peopke o know,i hate my job, i hate the olace i live, i hate the house i live, i live alone fir 20 years. I have only one good thing, financialy i am ok, i would say above average but the rest is a big hollow. I drink 1 or 2 times per week heavily and i forget about my shit life.I dont drink five days.

Your sobriety is the and strongest, this so call doc wanted you to fall so he can say he's helped you, your wife and your family have already done it. Don't let your pass hurt your family you are a part of history around the world.
